Hey, pick a better role model!

Little Johnny's curiosity got aroused. Why do people say politicians are dumb? Isn't getting rich with little effort smart? Politicians make millions in salary, bonuses, lobbyist payments, bribes, exclusive contracts and money from foreign interests. And all that for doing little more than signing a paper here and there. Can you imagine how smart someone has to be in order to deceive enough people into voting for him or her, and then living off their power? Wouldn't you do just that too, if you had the chance? Save millions in a number account in Switzerland while showing up to work only a couple of times per week, for an hour each time?

Yes I think so, but No I wouldn't.

If I had the chance to save millions in a number account in Switzerland while showing up to work only a couple of times per week, I would be a politician. You're right!

But if I had the chance to save billions in a number account in Switzerland while showing up to work only a couple of times per week to party mad with escorts and off with cocaine, I wouldn't be a politician, I would be Madoff.

I think Little Johnny got his role models wrong. Politicians are ok but neither the smartest nor the richest gang, so..

..little johnny if you are to pick a role model for a rich man who's smart and plays top league, then a politician is only an ok bet. Madoff is a better bet and someone like Madoff who never gets caught is your best bet.
